HSDT ASSESSMENTS
SCT.19 ROAD SAFETY ACT 2006 COMPLIANT
EMERGENCY RESPONSE DRIVING ASSESSMENTS
Proposed Legislation Changes from Sct.19 Road Safety Act 2006
​
Section 19 is due for governmental consultation and its introduction into the Road Safety Act (2006), which will replace the current Section 87 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act (1984) exemptions to posted speed limits etc. This will also be supported by the introduction of a new act The Road Traffic (Training Courses for Driving Vehicles at High Speed) Regulation 2020, which changes the way that emergency response driving courses and assessments are conducted.
​
The original RSA legislation has been scrutinised since 2006, but is now being reappraised by Parliamentary review for introduction (still yet to be enacted). Upon enactment, this will have a significant impact within the industry, and both organisations and individuals will need to be prepared to maintain operations.
​
How will this impact me or my organisation?
​
Moving forward, only designated courses which have been formally approved by a Chief Executive of an Emergency NHS Trust, will be permitted to drive an ambulance vehicle under emergency conditions to a 999 response call. The current qualifications expected to be accepted are likely to be the FutureQuals and/or Qualsafe L3CERAD/CERADL3 Qualifications, BTEC Level 3 Emergency Response Driving, IHCD D1/D2 Qualifications and any Internal NHS Ambulance Trust Qualification prior to any formerly accredited courses being available. It is not yet known exactly which courses will and won't be accepted in the legislation, however these are likely to fall within the framework of Level 3 QCF/RQF qualifications by Ofqual.
​
In addition to this, all personnel that hold a recognised qualification (as indicated above), will now need to be formally re-assessed every 5 years regarding their practical application and theoretical knowledge, to demonstrate that they are still current and competent for role when driving under emergency response conditions. This is designed to raise the industry standards and to promote and maintain professionalism and safety for all road users.
​
The majority of all NHS Trusts have already distributed letters to their respective Contractors, asking them in how they intend to train, assess and remain compliant against the contract with the introduction of Section 19 Road Safety Act 2006.
​
